Im working on learning PHP4 by reading Beginning PHP 4, Wrox Press.
Chapter 3, page 76.
Im working with a form field sending data via the GET method.
On the first page, you fill in a text field and hit send.
That data is sent via the URL.
I can see it in the URL, on the next page.
The page will not show the data in the variable spot.

The Code:

Page One
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
<form method=get action="text.php>
Who is your favorite author?
<input name="author" type="text">
<br>
<input type=submit>
</form>
</body></html>

Page Two - text.php
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
Your favorite author is:
<?php
echo $author;
?>
</body></html>

Now, I know PHP is case sensitive and I have been sure to check the $variable in the code. I have worked through some other pages in this book and I downloaded the documentation from the wrox website. Their code is exactly as the book and my own.

Im stumbed. Anybody read this book? Can anybody see something wrong?
